Nope, I haven't even used the 6v6 Pope's really since I bought them over a year ago.
On the topic of 5u4g rectifiers tho, I still love my USAF (United Electric Company) 596, still the best 5u4 type I've tried.

Been thinking about upgrading the coupling caps in my kt88 Firebottle with Jupiters for awhile now.
I own an iha1 and another tube amp I both upgraded to the Jupiter copper foil paper, both heavily benefited from this decision. My kt88 Firebottle is using Jantzen right now, while I do actually really like those too, Jupiters might be better. Jantz are more open and airy, and as you said Jupiters are a bit more romantic, but I think overall they're just slightly better too.
The Jupiters "beeswax" I wouldn't recommend, just their copper foil paper.
